PRIVATE Provence Cooking Class with Michelin Star Trained Chef

About this experience

Discover the unique flavors of Provençal cooking during this private, interactive French cooking class with your host. You'll get hands-on training from a warm and professional chef with a great sense of humor. Your host's deep ties to Provence and Michelin-star training make this a rare opportunity to learn from a true local expert. Opt for the market tour on Sundays to hand-select seasonal ingredients, transforming them into a bespoke three-course Provençal meal.

What to expect

Gerald is a lively chef with a great sense of humor who has called Provence home for over 30 years. Enjoy a private, 4-hr cooking class with a Michelin-star trained chef, and master the art of creating a gourmet three-course meal in a fun, relaxed setting. Under Gerald's expert guidance, prepare a tantalizing starter, an exquisite main course, and a decadent dessert, all inspired by the vibrant flavors of Provence. Your experience takes place in Gerald's professional cooking studio, attached to his home. After the hands-on lesson, savor the fruits of your labor paired with carefully selected local French wines. Leave with new culinary skills, recipes to recreate the magic at home, and unforgettable memories of an authentic Provençal experience. On Sundays, you can enhance your experience with a 1.5 hour market tour. Gerald will drive groups of up to four to the Marché Paysan de Coustellet; larger groups should arrange their own transportation. At the market, Gerald will help you select top-quality seasonal ingredients and teach you how to choose the best produce like a local. Back at his studio, you'll create a custom menu based on your market finds for a true taste of Provence.
